As humans, we have the tendency to exalt ourselves and think we are good. This wars against self-examination because the latter exposes the wickedness in our hearts and therefore, reveals our desperate need for the Lord. Why must we examine ourselves? If it is essential, why do we not do it?  What are some signs that we have not shone the light of God’s truth on our own hearts?  

In this message, “The Doctrine of Self-Examination ”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter expounds on three foundational ideas under this doctrine: why we must examine ourselves, why we do not examine ourselves and signs that show that we have not examined ourselves. 

This message will give you an in-depth understanding into the doctrine of self-examination and show you why and how you can properly make this your lifestyle. You will be challenged to consistently search your own heart, instead of criticising others. 

Note: This message is a follow-up to the series preached during the Breaking the Chains of Addiction Special Program held in February 2024. Kindly listen to the message titled 'The Key of Self-examination' in the series for a complete understanding.
